Hi ToeJam,

In December the psychologist I was seeing for my diagnosis, who I had some major problems with, told me that I had Asperger's, in the end though he didn't diagnose me with ASD because he wasn't sure if I met the new requirements. I was officially diagnosed by an psychiatrist in March. The period in between was horrible. "Almost but not quite" sucked. I've told no one but my wife, and she still seems to be in denial. I can't say anything changed with my doctor, but I did notice him explaining the difference between SSRIs and SNRIs yet again when I saw him this week. Also my wait time at his office has gone to almost nothing.

I doubt much will change for your employment. If you are diagnosed, will you share it? No one will treat you differently than they do now if they aren't told. You have been in the hospital for quite some time, I would expect to be treated differently because of that.

I hope you are out of the hospital soon and your testing goes well.
